Stargate over Hawaii

20. January 2023

Photographing on the tallest mountain in the world – the volcano Mauna Kea with the NOIRLab Gemini telescope was one of the most powerful experiences in my life. At the same time, it was also one of the most difficult photoshoots due to temperatures well below zero, struggling with a strong wind, against which it was sometimes impossible to even walk, and less dense air, which made the whole thing even more difficult.
